YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian
said today he was flying to Paris to meet with his Azerbaijani
counterpart Elmar Mamedyarov on June 13. Speaking to a joint news
conference together with the visiting Swiss foreign minister Micheline
Calmy-Rey, Oskanian said the format and the agenda of his talks with
Mamedyarov were yet to be defined.

Oskanian said though the talks between presidents of Armenia and
Azerbaijan in Bucharest produced no outcome, they, nevertheless,
reaffirmed the bilateral willingness to continue the search for a
peace formula to end the Karabakh conflict.

“In Paris we shall try to narrow our differences and come to an
agreement,” Oskanian said. He said the talks contain positive elements,
despite a number of stumbling blocks, but added that solutions to
some issues that had remained as major obstacles for years were now
found. Oskanian said this positive trend should be maintained to pave
road for next meeting of the presidents.
